Reduced library fees for Birkbeck alumni
Birkbeck library has reduced its alumni membership fees from £75 to £70 a year for borrowing access and from £40 to £35 a year for reference access.
In addition, library memberships will no longer expire at the beginning of the new academic year in September, but will be valid for a whole calendar year from the day you join.
Library membership gives you access to all books and journals on the open shelves, allows you to search for materials on the library catalogue and use quiet study areas.
Over the years library memberships have supported a number of library projects. Most recently, they have contributed towards
- Digitalisation of Mrs Birkbeck's Album, a collection of poems, songs and other texts, as well as drawings and watercolours by famous women and men between 1825 and 1847, including a poem by Mary Shelley.
- They are also helping in establishing The Crick Archive that contains papers belonging to the late Professor Sir Bernard Crick, all closely linked to the research undertaken in the College on politics and on citizenship.
Both collections will be available to students and researches in the Birkbeck Library.
